Bolder, Stronger, United: First Gathering of the Newly Elected Executive Board of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota
Our first meeting as a new Executive Board was
groundbreaking.
Collectively, we made a commitment to each other and every member
of this union that we will act with clarity and purpose to win for workers.
Together, we set our sights on achieving the emerging Vision
of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota that has grown out of the hopes and dreams of
members:
The Path to the American Dream
We need to build a
bolder, stronger, and united movement to repave the path to a dream every
generation of Americans has had.
Dreams of…
• A paycheck that
supports a family
• Universal health
care
• A secure
retirement
• The freedom to
form a union to give workers a voice on the job
Focused on Member Power &
Leadership Development
Across the country,
3% of SEIU members feel engaged in their union…we must do better. Imagine how
much closer to the American Dream we could get if just 3 or 4 times as many of
our members felt engaged in their union?
Responding to the Crisis of Our Time:
Health
The American
Healthcare System is broken. We must build our movement of healthcare workers
to respond to this crisis by becoming the most powerful voice in the state on
the issue of healthcare.
It’s Time to Be Leaders for Quality Care
We’re on the
frontlines of healthcare. We know what works. More importantly, we know what
patients need. We need to commit to each other that we will build our
collective power and use it to bring those ideas to life.
Knocking Down the Walls We Place Around
Our Power
We are not an island
onto ourselves. If our workplaces are healthy, but our communities are unsafe,
we have not succeeded.
